Sex & Nudity

The movie covers young adult intimate relationships, but the scenes do not include nudity, only a man is seen with no shirt on and you see his upper half.

Minor sexual activity is shown.

A boy (Matt Damon) asks a man to have sex with him the dialogue is sexual

There are a few mentions of blowjobs.

Violence & Gore

There's one scene where a fight is shown in slow motion, there's one shot where Will punches another guy in the face and from the impact of the hit, he cuts him and blood smears. Other than that, nothing explict.

Profanity

Strong language is pervasive throughout.

There are 144 uses of the word "fuck" and its derivatives (several used with "mother") 7 uses of d-words, 29 s-words, and 7 uses of Jesus, as well as a few milder profanities.

Many scenes with alcohol and smoking. Many bar scenes.
